Game style: trick-taking card game

Game designer: unknown

Publisher: n/a

Date: unknown

A fun trick-taking game and a nice way to teach the concepts of trick taking to people new to card games. Because there isn't trump or bidding, it is easier to learn than Spades, Pinochle, or Bridge. Though certainly entertaining for a long time, the lack of these more advanced items ultimately makes this a less fulfilling game than Spades, Pinochle, or Bridge.
